Yes, but now that I've noticed them for this reason, I'm not inclined
to look favorably on them. Even their "waah, we're not shipping yet

have been enough to turn me off from them, but trying to force me to buy
something that doesn't work, well, I don't like that.

Who says sawstop does not work? You?

OK Ted, your turn. If Sawstop +works+, why aren't you shipping them?

I thought they were outsourcing it to a low-cost country.

As do Delta, Powermatic, Grizzly, and many others? In fact, is there a
single saw made in the US?

Not the point. In the part you snipped the context was about quality.
I'm making a counterpoint.

And yet, the people who make a living making saws don't like it either.
Hm.

Of course not, because it is a better product. And by the looks of the
machinery they are making, it will be a better product as well.

Right, because their whine letter about, what, rust, wiring problems,
and schedule slips must strike terror into the competition. yawn.
